NORRI 0L, PHOTO-LUNG WASHINGTON, n. z;

To all whom, it may concern Be itknown thatlg c. N. WHITE, of Concord, in the county of Gabarras and State of North Carolina, haveinvented a new and Improved Drill: OIffBDilIlg Implementfor QBoring in the Earth; and I do hereby declare that the following is a :full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference ibeing had to the annexed drawings, making apartof this specification, in which a Figure 1 is aflside iriew of my improved flj each stro-ke. j i

Toenable o hers skilled'in the artto fully I understand and construct myinvention, I I will proceed to describeit.

A Fig. 1, represents a rod or staff having a weight B, secured to, its lower end.

" C is a frame which may be constructed of wrought iron. This frame has at its i upper part a collar D,through which the rod or stafl' A passes, the rod or staff workor fitting loosely in the collar D. At thelower end of the frame G there is a hub in which a drill F is secured, the shank of thedrill passingthrough the hub and 40 being secured bya key (a) in the upper part ofsaid hub. The frame C it willbe seen is formediof jtwo curved or bowed pieces (1)) (b) the ends ofwhich are con- ,nected to opposite sides of thecollar D, and .4 5 hub E, theweight B, being between the pieces (1)) (b). To the upperpart ofthe 1 weight B, there areattached small rods (0) I the lowerends of therodsbeing bent in the implement. Fig.j2-isf a horizontal section and described.

IMPLEMENT FOR Bonnie THE EARTH.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 12,706, dated April 10, 1855.

form of eyes and fittings on staples (d) on the weight and each rod passes through a guide (6) on the weight the guides causing the rods tobe in inclined positions to the left of a' vertical line as clearly shown in Fig. 1, by preventing them from passing a vertical line in the opposite direction. The guides also sustain the rods at the proper angle. p A

Gr is a horizontal rod, the ends of which are secured to the curved or bowed pieces (5) (b) of the frame as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

An .up and down motion is given the rod or staff- A in any proper manner and the weight B, as the rod or staff falls, strikes upon the shank of the drill and forces it into the earth, see red lines Fig. 1. When the rod or staff is raised the upper ends of two of the rods (0) act against the horizontal rod G and turn or rotate the frame C and consequently the drill F and as the rods (0) are allowed to move backward a certain distance in consequence of being connected to the staples (d) by the eyes at their lower ends they free themselves from the rod G as the weight again descends. Thus it will be seen that the drill is rotated a certain distance at each stroke of the rod or staff A. Any form of drill may be used, and any length to correspond to the required depth of hole or excavation to be made, it being understood that the frame C and weight D are always above the surface of the ground.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,

The combination of the frame C and weight B, with the movable inclined rods (0) attached, the above parts being constructed, arranged and operating in the manner and for the purpose as herein shown C. N. WHITE. Witnesses:
